In the ab-Bcence of any official explanation, it was assumed that the president goes as president of the United States and that Secretary Lansing, Mr. White and Colonel House and possibly also General Bliss will be delegates with ambassadorial rank. It was recalled that the president's announcement that he would go to) France "for the purpose of taking part in the discussion and settlement of the main features of the treaty of peace" and that It was not likely that he could remain throughout the sessions of the peace conference, 'and that he would be accompanied by delegates who will sit as the representatives of the United States throughout the conference.

It was explained that ' it had not been possible to announce these appointments before because the number of representatives each of the chief belligerents was to send had until a day or two ago been under discussion. White House officials would add nothing to the formal statement and no one professing to be in the confidence of the president would talk.

It was decided that the quarantine should be kept in force for. at least ten days longer, or until Monday, December 9, and in some' instances that the rules of the quarantine would be made a little more stringent so that conditions might continue to improve. It was the opinion of the doctors present that the situation in the Warren district had shown marked improvement In the last week notwithstanding the bad weather conditions, and that the number of new cases was rapidly diminishing. Most of the new cases were among persons who had been in houses where they had been exposed. This, however, did not apply to the Mexican residents, as it was shown that the disease had just begun to make Its inroad in that section of the population. One doctor of. the C. & A. staff visited 15 cases of pneumonia In Tintown yesterday. Low Death Rate. The death rate in the district, according to the doctors, has been kept remarkably low in comparison with other sections of the world. The rate in the Warren district has been about IV2. per cent, while In the majority of places it has averaged from 5 to 6, and even as high as 10, per cent. The first death in the district from influenza or diseases derived therefrom occurred on October 9. From that date to October 31. inclusive, there were 46 deaths. From November 1 to 15 there were 36 deaths, and for the past 15 days there were 18 deaths. The examination of the deaths will show that the disease is on the decline and it was thought best by those who are in a position to know that the situation should be kept in control and the lid be kept on so that a further reduction could be made. ! Have Trying Experiences. The general public has no Idea what the doctors of the Warren district have experienced In the handling of the influenza wave since It struck here. Doctors have gone Into houses and found entire families stricken with the disease. Father and mother in bed together not able to raise a band to assist the children of the family, who also were sick; not able to get them a bite to eat. The doctors have been compelled to play nurse, housemaid and cook; have had to wash and clean' the children, cook for them, go out of the house and get food and take it to the house and then prepare It for the different members of the family; change the bed linen, etc., that had been mussed because help could not be secured to send to the homes.

REVENUE BILL IS COMPLETE AND GOES TCM PRINTER Committee Lines Up Again on Strictly Party Lines With Republicans Resisting 1920 Limit (flv Review leased Wire) WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. The senate finance committee tonight completed revision of. the war revenue bill, designed to raise $6,000,000,000 in taxes in 1919 and about $4,000,000,000 in 1920. The measure as virtually rewritten to meet changed conditions attending the end of the war, now goes to the printer and will be reported to the senate next week, probably on Thursday. The republicans lined up solidly in opposition to inclusion of 1920 tax rates in the bill, it was conceded that discussion in the senate will delay the measure and many senators expressed doubt it can be enacted before March 3, the date of the ending f the 65th congress. In view of the expected delay, senate leaders and treasury department officials are concerned over collecting taxes next year and unless the new law is enacted before January 1 collections must be made under the present revenue bill the yield from which is only about $4,000,000,000. Several expedients, including adoption of emergency legislation are under consideration. "Sehator Simmons said tonight he doubted whether republicans would file a minority report attacking the 1920 tax program but might content themselves with vigorous opposition to that proposal on the floor of the senate. In completing the hill today, the finance committee adopted an amendment establishing new second clas postage rates, effective when the revenue bill recomes law. It provides for repeal of the present graduated zone rates on newspapers, magazines and other periodicals and substitutes a rate of one cent per pound within an area of 200 miles from mailing points and one-half cent a pound outside that area. The committee rejected another amendment for restoration on July 1, 1919. of the two cents an ounce rates on letters and one cent on postcards.

Colo., Nov. 29. John B. Geijsbeek. consul for Holland for the states of Colorado, Utah aud New Mexico, announced tonight that he had mailed hi resignation to the Dutch legation at Washington because of his government's action in harboring the former German emperor and because of other acts of the Netherlands government during the war. Mr. Geijsbeek also disclosed that the Netherlands government is preparing to conduct through its consuls a newspaper campaign in the United States to "justify its action in giving shelter and protection to William Hohenzollern." Mr. Geijsbeek said this campaign had been started with a note sent to the consuls recently, with instructions to offer it to the newspapers for publication by W. De Beaufort, charge d'affaires of the Netherlands in the United States, explaining that the former German emperor had entered Holland as a private citizen and was given the same refuge available to all foreicn refugees. In his letter of resivation, which Mr. Geijsbeek said wus mailed tonight after he had telegraphed the legation that it was on the way, the consul said: "This step is necessary for the reason that it Is becoming ' Increasingly difficult to keep silent about the position the Netherlands government is taking in the world's most momentous questions. ...

Soldiers Will Return to This Country Via Boston, New York, Newport News and Charleston (By Review Leased Wire) WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. Boston, New York, Newport News, Va., and Charleston, S. C, are the ports the war department now plans to use for the return of the army from overseas. Even with this wide distribution of the strain on port facilities and transportation, however, and with German ships now idle in German harbors employed on the task, estimates show that the last of the army could not possibly reach the United States in less than eight months. Conservative calculations upon which preparations by the department probably will be based, fixed ten months as the minimum. These estimates have been made wholly on the basis of the physical difficulties to be overcome and do not take into consideration the question of the retention in Europe for some time of an American force which may be agreed upon at the peace conference. If the return movement, already commenced, is continued at full speed, the last division, in all probability could not reach the United States before October, 1919. Decision to route the troops to their homes through the four ports mentioned Is understood to have been based on two main considerations. First, they have been constructed to handle the transports and the men, and second, they are the natural gateways to the country, each fed by an independent rail system ramifying back through geographically independent sections of the United States By loading the ships as far as possible with men from the same general section, it will be possible, army officers say, to avoid cross-carrying and disruption of normal traffic in getting the soldiers from the ships to their homes. In estimating for transport tonnage available for the movement, officials have not only looked ahead to the new ships which will be delivered during the demobilization period by the shipping board, but also upon idle German ships, including two new and large liners reported to have been completed except for some details of .equipment. Among the known German steamers is the Imperator, almost as large at the Vaterland, now the Levia-thian. The two new German liuers are of approximately the same size as these craft. Each of these four could carry nearly 10,00 men a trip. The German vessels, eastbound after unloading American troops would carry food supplies to be allotted Ger- j many.

England, Nov. 29. In a speech delivered here this evening. Premier Lloyd George dealing with the question of the responsibility for trie invasion of Belgium said the British government had consulted some of the greatest jurists of the kingdom and they unanimously and definitely had arrived at the conclusion that in their judgment the former German emperor was guilty of an indictable offense for which he ought to be held responsible. Germany must pay the cosi me war to the limit of her capacity. Premier Lloyd George declared. The submarine pirates must be punished ,the premier added, and whoever devastated the lands of another country ought to be responsible. Referring to the authors of the war, Mr. Lloyd George said the government intended that the investigation to be conducted should be perfectly fair but a stern one and that it should go on to its final reckoning. Mr. Lloyd George said Germany would not be allowed to pay her indemnity by dumping cheap goods in this country. The premier, defending unionist members of the cabinet, said he would trust this men who for two years had helped him to carry out great and progressive measures until he saw a better reason than he did now for suspecting them. Asked "What about free trade?" the premier added: "I am prepared to examine every problem, to cast aside any prejudice or pre-conceived ideas and examine them purely upon the facts as the war has revealed them to us."

Colo., Nov. 29. John B. Geijsbeek. consul for Holland for the states of Colorado, Utah aud New Mexico, announced tonight that he had mailed hi resignation to the Dutch legation at Washington because of his government's action in harboring the former German emperor and because of other acts of the Netherlands government during the war. Mr. Geijsbeek also disclosed that the Netherlands government is preparing to conduct through its consuls a newspaper campaign in the United States to "justify its action in giving shelter and protection to William Hohenzollern." Mr. Geijsbeek said this campaign had been started with a note sent to the consuls recently, with instructions to offer it to the newspapers for publication by W. De Beaufort, charge d'affaires of the Netherlands in the United States, explaining that the former German emperor had entered Holland as a private citizen and was given the same refuge available to all foreicn refugees. In his letter of resivation, which Mr. Geijsbeek said wus mailed tonight after he had telegraphed the legation that it was on the way, the consul said: "This step is necessary for the reason that it Is becoming ' Increasingly difficult to keep silent about the position the Netherlands government is taking in the world's most momentous questions. ...

Soldiers Will Return to This Country Via Boston, New York, Newport News and Charleston (By Review Leased Wire) WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. Boston, New York, Newport News, Va., and Charleston, S. C, are the ports the war department now plans to use for the return of the army from overseas. Even with this wide distribution of the strain on port facilities and transportation, however, and with German ships now idle in German harbors employed on the task, estimates show that the last of the army could not possibly reach the United States in less than eight months. Conservative calculations upon which preparations by the department probably will be based, fixed ten months as the minimum. These estimates have been made wholly on the basis of the physical difficulties to be overcome and do not take into consideration the question of the retention in Europe for some time of an American force which may be agreed upon at the peace conference. If the return movement, already commenced, is continued at full speed, the last division, in all probability could not reach the United States before October, 1919. Decision to route the troops to their homes through the four ports mentioned Is understood to have been based on two main considerations. First, they have been constructed to handle the transports and the men, and second, they are the natural gateways to the country, each fed by an independent rail system ramifying back through geographically independent sections of the United States By loading the ships as far as possible with men from the same general section, it will be possible, army officers say, to avoid cross-carrying and disruption of normal traffic in getting the soldiers from the ships to their homes. In estimating for transport tonnage available for the movement, officials have not only looked ahead to the new ships which will be delivered during the demobilization period by the shipping board, but also upon idle German ships, including two new and large liners reported to have been completed except for some details of .equipment. Among the known German steamers is the Imperator, almost as large at the Vaterland, now the Levia-thian. The two new German liuers are of approximately the same size as these craft. Each of these four could carry nearly 10,00 men a trip. The German vessels, eastbound after unloading American troops would carry food supplies to be allotted Ger- j many.

England, Nov. 29. In a speech delivered here this evening. Premier Lloyd George dealing with the question of the responsibility for trie invasion of Belgium said the British government had consulted some of the greatest jurists of the kingdom and they unanimously and definitely had arrived at the conclusion that in their judgment the former German emperor was guilty of an indictable offense for which he ought to be held responsible. Germany must pay the cosi me war to the limit of her capacity. Premier Lloyd George declared. The submarine pirates must be punished ,the premier added, and whoever devastated the lands of another country ought to be responsible. Referring to the authors of the war, Mr. Lloyd George said the government intended that the investigation to be conducted should be perfectly fair but a stern one and that it should go on to its final reckoning. Mr. Lloyd George said Germany would not be allowed to pay her indemnity by dumping cheap goods in this country. The premier, defending unionist members of the cabinet, said he would trust this men who for two years had helped him to carry out great and progressive measures until he saw a better reason than he did now for suspecting them. Asked "What about free trade?" the premier added: "I am prepared to examine every problem, to cast aside any prejudice or pre-conceived ideas and examine them purely upon the facts as the war has revealed them to us."

"We are approaching the peace conference." the premier continued, "the price of victory is not vengeance nor retribution. It is prevention..
